Installing Isla Paradiso world mod.

[Lieutenant Dan]

I've been trying to install the smoother version of Isla Paradiso to get rid of the lag, but I don't know how to finish it. I have the files and made the folder, but it's not showing up in game. What am I doing wrong?

Read the instructions on the mod page.

The Isla Paradiso fix does not work like other mods; the file you extracted is the map file and must be placed into the folder where the original map file is.

1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.

2. Extract: Use WinRAR (Windows) or Stuffit (Mac) to extract the .package file(s) from the .rar or .zip file(s).

3. This download is meant to be placed in \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Island Paradise\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds folder

If done correctly, when you start a new game with Isla Paradiso, you will load the fixed world instead of the buggy, original one.

I am trying to do this for Steam though, so that route from Program Files to Worlds folder doesn't exist; I don't have a Electronic Arts folder there.

The only Electronic Arts folder I have is in my Documents, and I've tried to work with that to make the mod appear, but no luck.

The default steam game installation path is in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common.

In that folder you can find all the games you have installed using steam. If you changed the installation path for steam, you will have to find it.

Isla Paradiso should be at \The Sims 3\EP10\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds.

Edit: in order words, if you have not changed the steam installation path from the default one, you should place the IslaParadiso.world file you extracted into \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 3\EP10\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds, you should be asked to overwrite the original. If it's not there, try one of the other EP folders.

Thank you, I'll try that :)
